It's so bad in LA. We're at 1 in every 5 people now will have the virus.

I think there's been a lot of house parties and events happening. We're the land of idiot social media influencers and other dolts that have shown no regard for the virus all year. Could also be that a lot of people here are transplants that went home for the holidays and brought it back with them. But I like blaming influencers for our society's problems so I'll stick with that.

Also I'm not sure if they're including the homeless among those figures, but we have a large transient population and many of them have contracted COVID.
Either way, it's not been good.

I don't know if the homeless are among the latest official tracking either but I do know based on what I've been reading is that it's really starting to explode among the homeless population according to hospital admissions etc.

California is at 104.8 cases per 100K people in the last seven days, Texas is at 77.7, and Florida is at 73. Oklahoma is also at 104.8, Rhode Island is at 106.5, and Arizona is at a whopping 129.5.

And I know there are some people who are outraged that transients and the prison population are getting the vaccine before most of us, but when the goal is to stop the spread of the virus it makes sense since those two groups are at extreme risks of contracting and spreading it.

Fortunately they were able to open it back up before too long but yeah, it's bullshit that they just let people run roughshod and without consequence.
In the meantime, people are closing in on getting 1.5 million signatures to recall Gavin Newsom. I'm sure that election will be just fine and will involve no drama whatsoever.

Between recall elections and rampant ballot initiatives California has got to have the worst state constitution in the union.

I've said this before amongst friends but if I could warn the guys in charge in Sacramento about anything it's this: while you continuously drop the ball on things like homelessness, the housing crisis, taxes and watching the middle class leave as fast as they can, be sure that you aren't inadvertently creating the next generation of Republicans who will be running against your fuck-ups for years to come. Because I think that's exactly what's going to happen.

We can use all the Democrats we can get here.

We can use all the Democrats we can get here. If it were up to the lady we would have moved to Texas already, she loves Texas. My job keeps me in LA though but that might not be the case for much longer considering how many people are setting up shop to work remotely on a permanent basis. I think the questions on a lot of peoples' minds when it comes to all the Californians moving to Texas is...are you sure you want to turn Texas blue? Considering how you just, ya know, left THE blue state? Is the desire to just give the electoral votes to the Democrat running for President? Or is to raise taxes, increase regulations and add social benefits? Because I know a lot of people in Texas are watching the Californians invade and are afraid they're going to drop their bags and say 'No state income tax eh? Well we'll just see about that!'

To be honest, most Texans don't have a firm grasp on just how messed up California is. I'm certainly not worried about a state income tax being made into law. I suspect the state constitution won't allow it, and Democrats can only get elected in Texas if they are very centrist.

I'm sure some Democrats like the guy but Republicans are going to run his 'damn right we're coming for your guns' into the ground. They're going to play and replay and replay the clip of him saying that he'll revoke tax-exempt status from schools and churches that oppose same-sex marriage. That might fly in a blue or even purple state but I don't think any of that is going to go over well in Texas.

Beto pretty much sank his political career in Texas over the guns quote.

What we can really hope for is that Ted Cruz goes far, far away and never returns.
